Ghostzapper's an easy pick but of the Juddmonte lot I really liked Beat Hollow.

Exbourne is my favorite Frankel horse.

being chronically ill is no fun. my condition makes me sick all the time. i thank God that its not a life threatning condition such as cancer or nameless other things we mortal humans contract. but heres what i know about being sick and being around sick people. because once you're diagnosed you are constantly at offices being tested and prodded, you get sick of being sick. you talk to the other sick people and they feel the same way. it does not matter what you have, we are mortal, we all age, eventually we all become ill. thats life. people don't need to know what you have. as long as you are alive and breathing, you are still the same person. thats what people forget. the person does not want to change, they became ill. in most cases they don't want pity or special notice, they want to carry on like nothings wrong . its very personal in some cases and people should not speculate. this is where being famous is not all its cracked up to be. my problem is faceless and no one cares but friends and family, someone like bobby frankel has to deal with it publicly. that just adds to the stress of being ill. sure people appreciate the well wishes and such. but dounuts to dollars he would be just as happy with a "good luck" and "hope your horse runs well in the feature today"(like nothings wrong). the worst thing about being ill is being reminded of it constantly, thats why people keep it to themselves.
